Abstract
Description
COFFRE AERODYNAMIQUE TRANSFORMABLE EN BARQUE
La présente invention constitue une solution pour transporter sur une voiture, tout à la fois, une importante quantité de bagages, et une barque, sans devoir utiliser une remorque. De surcroît, elle ne pénalise que peu l'aérodynamisme du véhicule. En effet dans la plupart des cas, le transport d'une embarcation, si petite soit-elle, nécessite l'achat, et le stockage d'une remorque. De plus, le transport des bagages sur une galerie modifie notablement la pénétration dans l'air du véhicule.AERODYNAMIC BOX TRANSFORMABLE INTO A BOAT
The present invention constitutes a solution for transporting on a car, at the same time, a large quantity of luggage, and a boat, without having to use a trailer. In addition, it hardly penalizes the aerodynamics of the vehicle. In most cases, the transport of a boat, however small, requires the purchase and storage of a trailer. In addition, the transport of luggage on a gallery significantly modifies the air penetration of the vehicle.
L'invention, dont la description suit, permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. The invention, the description of which follows, overcomes these drawbacks.
Elle se compose de deux parties principales (A et B), ayant la forme de bac
* La première partie (A) est de forme parallélipéde rectangle, de largeur et longueur inférieures aux dimensions du toit du véhicule qui la transporte. La hauteur de cette pièce sera voisine de soixante centimètres.It consists of two main parts (A and B), having the shape of a tank
* The first part (A) is rectangular in shape, with a width and length smaller than the dimensions of the roof of the vehicle transporting it. The height of this room will be close to sixty centimeters.
Posée sur la galerie de la voiture, elle est destinée à recevoir, pendant les deplacements du véhicule, les bagages et accessoires.Placed on the gallery of the car, it is intended to receive, during the displacements of the vehicle, the luggage and accessories.
* La deuxième partie (B) ressemble, vue de côte, à un trapeze rectangle et vient couvrir la première partie pendant la phase de déplacement du véhicule, assurant ainsi la protection des effets rangés dans le premier bac. Cette pièce devra avoir, pour dimensions intérieures du bac, une surlargeur vis à vis de la pièce A, de manière à permettre l'emboîtement de B sur A, comme représenté sur la figure 1. * The second part (B) looks, seen from the side, like a rectangular trapeze and comes to cover the first part during the vehicle movement phase, thus ensuring the protection of the effects stored in the first bin. This part must have, for internal dimensions of the tank, an extra width with respect to part A, so as to allow the fitting of B on A, as shown in FIG. 1.
L'inclinaison de la partie avant de la pièce B correspond sensiblement à l'angle que fait le pare-brise de la voiture avec la verticale, de manière à constituer une continuité pour l'écoulement aérodynamique. The inclination of the front part of the part B corresponds substantially to the angle made by the windshield of the car with the vertical, so as to constitute a continuity for the aerodynamic flow.
L'emboitement des deux bacs (fig. 1) constitue, pendant les phases de déplacement du véhicule un coffre idéal, posé sur une galerie. On y transporte un volume important de bagages à l'abri des intempéries, sans surcharger le coffre du véhicule. Une fois arrivé à destination, on décharge manuellement la pièce B et l'on récupère l'ensemble des bagages dans l'autre bac. On peut alors, au moyen de la planche d'accouplement (C) rassembler les deux bacs A et
B pour former une barque avec deux planches (C et D) pour l'assise des passagers. Pour mettre en place la planche d'accouplement (C), il conviendra de rapprocher les deux bacs (A et B) pour qu'ils se touchent, puis coiffer les rebords munis de trous e faisant coïncider ceux-ci avec les trous se trouvas sur les trois fers plats de la planche d'accouplement.Il ne reste plus alors qu'à passer trois tiges filetées (diamètre 10 mm environ) à travers l'ensemble constitué des deux bacs et de la planche d'accouplement, à travers les trous ménagés à cet effet et précontraindre ces trois tiges de manière à comprimer les joints assurant l'étanchéité.The interlocking of the two bins (fig. 1) constitutes, during the vehicle movement phases, an ideal trunk, placed on a gallery. It carries a large volume of luggage sheltered from the weather, without overloading the trunk of the vehicle. Once at your destination, you manually unload part B and collect all the luggage in the other bin. We can then, by means of the coupling board (C) bring together the two tanks A and
B to form a boat with two planks (C and D) for the seat of the passengers. To set up the coupling board (C), it will be necessary to bring the two tanks (A and B) together so that they touch, then cover the edges provided with holes and making these coincide with the holes found on the three flat bars of the coupling board. All that remains is to pass three threaded rods (diameter approximately 10 mm) through the assembly made up of the two tanks and the coupling board, through the holes provided for this purpose and prestress these three rods so as to compress the seals ensuring tightness.
Ce dispositif constitue la solution idéale pour les voyages de départ en vacances ou les week-end au bord de l'eau. This device is the ideal solution for departure trips on vacation or weekends by the water.
Pour faciliter la mise en oeuvre de cette invention, nous pensons qu'elle sera construite sur une principe de double coque, en résine de polyester, armee de fibre de verre et injecte, entre les deux coques, de mousse de polyuréthane, ce qui donne à cette invention l'avantage d'être incoulable. De surcroit ces matériaux présentent aussi l'avantage d'être léger, ce qui facilitera les operations de chargement et de déchargement des bacs. To facilitate the implementation of this invention, we believe that it will be built on a double shell principle, made of polyester resin, reinforced with fiberglass and injected, between the two shells, with polyurethane foam, which gives to this invention the advantage of being incoulable. In addition, these materials also have the advantage of being light, which will facilitate the loading and unloading of the containers.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est nullement limitée aux modes d'exécution décrits ci-dessus. On peut en effet équiper cet esquif de rames téléscopiques ou d'un moteur, mais on peut aussi imaginer une transformation en petit voilier, en y ajoutant une quille amovible et un emplacement pour le mât, entre les deux bacs. Of course, the invention is in no way limited to the embodiments described above. We can indeed equip this skiff with telescopic oars or an engine, but we can also imagine a transformation into a small sailboat, by adding a removable keel and a location for the mast, between the two tanks.
En conclusion, on peut rappeler ici les principaux avantages de cette invention
* Aerodynamisme de l'ensemble coffre
* Possiblité de combiner à partir des mêmes pièces, soit un
coffre, soit un bateau de moyenne dimension
* Facilite de transport pour un bateau de moyenne dimension
* Transport de bagages à l'abri des intempéries
* Possibilités d'utiliser les bacs séparément à d'autres d'usages
que ceux déjà évoqués : bassin d'agréement pour petits enfants,
luge
* Recentrage et répartition des charges sur les essieux du
véhicule, pendant les phases de transport. In conclusion, we can recall here the main advantages of this invention
* Aerodynamics of the trunk assembly
* Possibility of combining from the same parts, i.e.
trunk, a medium-sized boat
* Easy transport for a medium-sized boat
* Luggage transport sheltered from the weather
* Possibilities of using the trays separately for other uses
than those already mentioned: pleasure pool for small children,
sledge
* Refocusing and distribution of loads on the axles
vehicle, during the transport phases.
